Craigslist Apartment Listing Uses Record 354 Exclamation Points01.25.06
SAN FRANCISCO—A Craigslist advertisement for a two-bedroom apartment in San Francisco's Castro district has set an all-time Internet record for exclamation-point usage with 354, the Bureau Of Statistics reported Tuesday. "The 28 exclamation points following the lead phrase, 'MUST SEE,' were excessive, but not record-breaking," said BOS statistician Randall Carrey. "But within the ad itself, the word 'nice' is in all caps and followed by 354 marks. Quite extraordinary." The previous online record, 312, was set in a 2003 eBay listing for Camaro parts.
I can't stop laughing - that was too perfect. Airline Driver's posts, while possibly containing some tidbits of good info, are too painful for me to read as well. Either non-English speaking or did very poorly in school...
